The
Islamic perspective on this very popular topic reveals pertinent
information that can help Muslims in leading a life of peace
and tranquility in the home. What are some practical ways in
which we can establish a marriage that is successful and pleasing
to Allah? At a Florida
retreat Alpha-Him Jobe, the late imam from New York City, answers
this question and addresses many issues of importance such as
taqwa, justice, respect, wealth, beauty, prestige, character,
honourable intention, assessment, preparation, maturity, compatibility,
reasonable dowry, good will, love, compassion and leadership.
The speaker's knowledge, wit and engaging style result in a
talk that can be enjoyed by both married couples and those seeking
marriage. Other topics discussed: pregnancy, marriage by c hoice not by force, seeing each
other before marriage, marriage completing half the faith, the
wife helping in the support of the household, and the wife working
even if the husband can support the household. (Duration: 1 hour,
8 min) Alpha-Him Jobe was widely known for his taqwa, humility,
knowledge and wisdom. Born in Gambia, he was educated at Ummul
Qura University in Saudi Arabia. He passed away in a car accident
in 1997. Actively aiding communities across America, his work
will continue to inspire Muslims and non-Muslims alike, God-willing.
Please keep him in your dua's.
